In 1901, Eglinton was a town, St. Clements Avenue was an orchard, and Duplex Avenue did not exist. A handful of children made their way past those orchards to St. Clement’s Church Parish Hall. That same year, Canon Powell, the first rector at St. Clement’s Church, established St. Clement’s School in the Anglican tradition. He felt learning could and should be an exciting and engaging experience, and chose to create a school that would: • Have the freedom to teach a true appreciation of the arts and literature; • Encourage mental agility and curiosity; and • Develop a sense of commitment and responsibility to fellow citizens. Today, St. Clement’s School prepares students for a very different world from the one in which we were founded, yet the fundamental values that shaped our beginnings remain as central now as they were then.
We are the outstanding women of tomorrow who are intellectually curious, courageous, and compassionate.

Facilitating our girls’ future
We are shaping their experience
We’ve been reflecting on our values a lot this year. I’m delighted to report that, thanks to the generosity of the entire SCS community, one School value that has particularly benefited over the 2016–2017 school year is excellence; more specifically, excellence in academic and co-curricular programming through gifts to the Annual Fund’s Principal’s Initiatives. Donations supporting these initiatives allow funds to be directed by the School to our areas of greatest need in support of our mission and strategic direction. They fund key annual programming priorities, which change from year to year.
programming and facilities, as we recognize the ever-changing future our girls will face and the important role we play in preparing them for it. To equip them well, we need to have both the resources and facilities in place. As this work continues, the Principal’s Initiatives become even more essential. Thank you for supporting this area of St. Clement’s School’s fundraising initiatives. Your gifts are playing a key role in preparing our girls for their future.
We continue to work to determine our next steps with respect to both

Supporting our brightest
When I think of St. Clement’s, the first thing that comes to mind is our community. At SCS, the way in which our students, parents, alumnae, and staff interact and care for one another is what I think defines us and makes us unique. It’s something we can be proud of. Our community demonstrates caring in many ways. As a parent, I see it in the attention and support Paige receives from her teachers; as a Board member, I see it in the way our community helps to sustain the School through philanthropic giving. One wonderful way our community makes an impact is through giving directed towards Financial Assistance. The Board of Governors was thrilled at 2
the reach of the Financial Assistance program this year. Thanks to those community members who chose to direct their gifts to this area of support, we were able to ensure that the best and brightest applicants have an opportunity for an SCS education, regardless of financial circumstance. Financial Assistance has been offered at St. Clement’s since our founding in 1901. In 2016-2017, a total of $590,053 was awarded to 24 students based on their level of financial need, and 25 per cent of that amount was contributed through the 2016-2017 Annual Fund. These girls were afforded the opportunity to learn from the School’s high-calibre faculty, to participate in experiential education trips, and to
A foundation of excellence
Year after year, St. Clement’s gives our daughters an incredible education, a strong commitment to giving back, and a loving community. The School prepares our girls for life within the walls of 21 St. Clements Avenue, but also for a meaningful life beyond. It’s for these reasons that it’s imperative that the School community gives back —to not only express gratitude, but to ensure that the quality of education the School offers continues to be of such a high calibre. Together, we raised $551,586 in the 2016–2017 school year—thank you for your support. The Annual Fund shapes our girls’ experience through academic enhancements, facility and technology upgrades, and providing deserving students

I would like to extend my personal thanks to each and every one of you who have contributed your time and talents to helping us to foster a culture of philanthropy here at St. Clement’s School. Your commitment to giving, in all of its many forms, allows us to achieve year-over-year growth within the Annual Fund and in major and endowment giving. Ultimately, this ensures the School’s ability to continue to provide the best possible education for our girls, now and into the future. Whether supporting financial assistance, programming, or facility enhancements, your donations make a difference for each and every Clementine so that she may have the brightest future possible.
Thank you for supporting these girls in receiving the benefits of an SCS education and, equally, for helping to bring them into our School community and into the life of every Clementine, parent, alumna, and staff member.

I am honoured to be part of this community, and to continue working alongside all of you to ensure that St. Clement’s can best deliver on its mission for current and future Clementines. Thank you again. Your generosity is valued, and I know that our girls have felt its impact.

We are thankful for volunteers
When St. Clement’s School was founded by Canon Powell, it was important to him that students develop a sense of commitment and responsibility to their fellow citizens. This continues to be woven throughout the School’s values, and our girls have some outstanding role models in the volunteers who actively support
the School by giving their time, energy, and talents. Our volunteers are parents, alumnae, staff, and friends who have a significant impact on school life and the School’s unique spirit. Our girls are grateful beyond measure.

“SCS has taught our daughters to see the world with a larger perspective through experiences that allow them to grow in individuality and leadership. Now with one daughter graduating from university and one entering, I can see that SCS has prepared them well academically, but also with guidance from the community to pursue their goals faithfully. Giving back to SCS is not only about thanking the community but also so that others may have access to the wonderful opportunities our daughters have had.” — C arole Luk Nge and Johnny Nge, parents of Shanae ’18 and Sharon ’14

We are investing in the future Our endowment donors provide ongoing funding to support St. Clement’s School’s educational goals while preserving real value for future generations. Endowed gifts are invested for a maximum yield, paying out a limited yearly amount while the principal grows over the years. These gifts are directed to areas requested by the donors.
We are leaving a legacy
“Over thirteen years, our daughters have had so many incredible growth and learning experiences. Giving to the Grad Class gift was our way of ensuring other girls are able to benefit from all the fantastic and unique learning opportunities provided by SCS.”
The Francis C. Powell Heritage Society celebrates the legacy of the Powell Family and honours members of our community who have made provisions for a planned gift to St. Clement’s School through bequests, gifts of life insurance, or charitable remainder trusts.
— Michelle and John Visser, parents of Sarah ’18, Advancement Head, and Carolyn ’19 Visser
We extend a sincere thank you to all of our Powell Heritage Society members. Your gift is a thoughtful expression of your belief in our mission to develop outstanding women who are intellectually curious, courageous, and compassionate.

“I graduated from St. Clement’s School such a long time ago that there is nothing remaining of ‘my’ bricks and mortar experience at SCS. Fortunately one important quality has not changed. Then, as now, St. Clement’s is serious about training young women to fulfill our full potential while nurturing our sense of social responsibility. These are the young women we would all want to be if we could go back and start again.”

“We love St. Clement’s School because it places emphasis on instilling values and offering a rigorous education. This has helped each of our daughters to thrive and to find their unique paths. In designating a gift to the School’s Financial Assistance program, we hope to support other bright girls who don’t have the means so that they may experience an education that only SCS can offer—one that places weight on character development and learning that extends beyond textbooks.” — Sal Rocco and Dr. Nancy Scolieri, parents of Simona ’17 and Madeleine ’19

In 1901, Eglinton was a town, St. Clements Avenue was an orchard, and Duplex Avenue did not exist. A handful of children made their way past those orchards to St. Clement’s Church Parish Hall. That same year, Canon Powell, the first rector at St. Clement’s Church, established St. Clement’s School in the Anglican tradition. He felt learning could and should be an exciting and engaging experience, and chose to create a school that would: • Have the freedom to teach a true appreciation of the arts and literature;
T:10.25”
• Encourage mental agility and curiosity; and • Develop a sense of commitment and responsibility to fellow citizens. Today, St. Clement’s School prepares students for a very different world from the one in which we were founded, yet the fundamental values that shaped our beginnings remain as central now as they were then.
